Guest speaker on transgender issues in the RAF and a talk on some new research about how lesbianism is saving the planet.

Anyway, I have to do some online training about how to handle 'unwanted sexual advances in the workplace'.....

Are you going to identify as a woman long enough to attend the Women's Conference?

I should be so lucky etc etc....... there is no information on what to do with wanted sexual advances.

I did my GDPR training. At least I now know it is something to do with data protection- I was wondering why everyone was suddenly talking about East Germany again.

Yes, and no. It isnt strictly public sector any more.

I have been asked to speak, as a man. I have said no. Recipe for disaster.

Something foul and abusive. He only ever said foul and abusive things. :-(

You should have said yes and opened with something like. "Afternoon girls. From the number of you here I can see that there's a lot of housework not getting done today."

That'd get a laugh.

I made a similar remark about two years ago at a management meeting. Someone asked, quite innocently, what went on at the women's conference and got a series of jokey responses from the women about make up, housework etc. Twenty minutes later we were discussing the kitchen facilities in the offices and the fact that people kept leaving them in a dreadful mess. When the Chair asked what we should do about it I suggested referring it To the women's conference for further discussion.

I was still dealing with the fall out from that joke about 3 months later......

GDPR. You will legally be able ask to be 'forgotten' from your organisation's payroll system. How fúcking bonkers is that?

Still, not sure too many will take that option up.

I must have spent about half my work time, this year, on fúcking GDPR stuff :( Wenger out.

I am doing all I can to swerve it as I was being set up, without me agreeing to it, to be our DPO with responsibility for ensuring compliance etc.

Not kewl when trying to get a reference. "Nope, sorry, none of the two previous employers you cited have any record of you working there."

I probably should be spending half my time on GDPR quite soon. Will probably claim 'legitimate interests' for most processing and hope for the best.

Being a DPO sounds like a right, fúcking bundle of laughs.

I am trying to dodge as much as possible but we are having to amend forms, policies, protocols and Dennis knows what else. Plus retrospective consent for biometric data, etc.

For fúcking, fúcks sake...

Actually, there are limits on that. Finance records have to be kept for seven years and good luck asking the Revenue to forget you.

:nod: and fulfillment of a contract and all that. But the theory stands, etc.

Yes, the reference part will be interesting. We will have to purge our systems of information on the 7th anniversary of someone leaving employment.

Will be interesting to see what happens when our customers and regulatory bodies come to audit us and want to see reports and evidence of stuff and staff don't provide consent. Oh well...

There's so much b0llocks in the law the ICO seem almost embarrassed at having to try and enforce it, it sometimes seems. There will be court cases with big companies with big lawyers who will iron out some of the silliness I expect.

Meanwhile, we'll see what happens if you try to use a loyalty card after May 28th without having read and signed off the approprate privacy policy and consent forms. Should be interesting. :hehe:

There will be some cùnt ahead at a till exclaiming in a loud voice that he demands to know EXACTLY what information they are holding on him and EXACTLY how it is being processed and EXACTLY who is seeing it and what measures are being taken to protect it and so on. The law is a cùnt's paradise.

Is the area of retrospective consent still not a grey one?

I had a bloke contact me about 3 weeks ago, he had been accused (and he claims subsequently acquitted) of sexual misconduct towards minors, then it turned out he had been accused on 3 different occasions. Yes he was a priest in a previous life.

So he found our SAR form online and wrote to me, as you say demanding to know all the information held on him etc.

I had to ring him up and explain to him that we hold information for DM purposes, perhaps involving a wee bit of profiling, but nothing on noncery.

He then asked me to send him all the file that An Garda Siochana held on him.

Some people are just thick.

not for sensitive personal data.

Which is my understanding as imparted by our very expensive legal experts.

"better to have consent, than not" etc

At least you will have a bit more bite when you report the ambulance chasing, TPS ignoring ****s who cold call you with regards the road traffic accident you never had.
